The triumph of Vicente Fox has accelerated the winds of change in Mexico. Old myths are collapsing, and Mexico is debating and experimenting with the construction of its future institutions. The challenges that face the new government are enormous. Around 40 percent of the population lives in poverty. The production, consumption, and trafficking of narcotics continue to grow and, consequently, so does the power of the drug lords. The police forces and the judicial system have collapsed. The environment is degraded. The labor unions continue to be controlled by the old authoritarian structure. Finally, Fox's victory has raised enormous expectations in a population that voted for change and expects it to be both profound and rapid. Yet despite the fact that Vicente Fox won the election, much of the real power remains in the hands of the old order, the private sector, the church, or other parties and social groups. Fox's successes and failures will largely depend on his capacity for reaching accords with those forces
